“The Alignment problem asks: “How do we build machines with human values?” [but] the data we generate is overwhelmingly anti-social. If we as humans are demonstrating that the most frequent and locally optimal behavior is fundamentally based on competition and fear, then these systems will bias toward competition and fear. The question of “Alignment” then is an Absurd question - as humanity cannot align internally due to our structural impediments. To anyone who is worried about “Aligning” AI globally, your charge is this: Invert structural incentives in your organization to demonstrate cooperation rather than competition, and sharing rather than hoarding as much as possible. This is the only way to create data that is de facto embedded with cooperation, sharing and trust. If we stay on the current path, we will continue to generate data teaching our systems how to destroy each other rather than care for each other.” A Kemando.
